Reviewer: A customer in Japan

* I really like the taste, and although I haven't noticed any specific calming benefits, I drink it before bed and I do quite look forward to it. I also have some in a big glass of water first thing in the morning. Nice soft bowel movements are an additional benefit!

* I use the product to help with regularity. I take it before bed. It seems to do the trick. The taste is not bad but I add it to lemon 4C because I liked the stronger/sweeter taste. The powder itself is not strong tasting or very sweet. Just a hint of flavor.

* I have taken Natural Calm for years for chronic constipation. After back surgery I found that it controlled severe muscle spasm (charlie horse) in a leg with nerve damage. This past year I had chemotherapy and my oncologist told me I was her only patient who did not develop chronically depleted magnesium levels and she would be recommending Natural Calm from now on for her chemo patients (who also develop chronic constipation while on chemo). What a product!

* Since I began taking Natural Calm at night before bed, I have been able to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. No more awakening at 2:30 a.m. and not getting back to sleep until 5 a.m. Now, most nights I sleep until morning, or if I happen to wake up I can get right back to sleep without tossing or turning for hours.

* My chiropractor recommended this product to me and I've been using it now for over a year. It eliminates leg cramping at night, has a great laxative effect, and seems to have just about done away with the muscular tension I generate in my shoulders, neck and jaw. It's a real quality of life product. Also, this is the only place I can find the 16 oz sizes.

* I bought this for my 8 yr. old. She is a natural born perfectionist and has anxiety issues that keep her from sleeping well. Not anymore. I give her just 1 tsp of this before bed and she sleeps fine. She was also complaining about sore throats, tummy aches, etc. Dr. couldn't find anything wrong. We don't have these complaints anymore. Also started giving this to my 13 yr old son who has tourette's syndrome (in addition to his reg. meds). He won't go to school without taking it now. He says it helps his tics sooo much and as a result he also says his self-confidence has improved (his words, not mine). The only negative would be the taste (although my picky kids don't mind). I have them add a packet of splenda and they drink it right down.

* I use Natural Calm because I have Restless Leg Syndrome. I stir about 1 rounded teaspoon in a half cup of hot water. It fizzes until it's done dissolving. Then I add some more water to cool it down. I drink this when I am ready to go to sleep. I fall asleep easily within 15 minutes and my restless leg problem is not a problem as long as I use Natural Calm.

* This is good stuff! Magnesium can be difficult to take as a supplement (I have some magnesium malate tablets and they are huge). Having the magnesium in liquid form makes it a lot easier to get down higher quantities (which is what most people need, given most people are deficient in magnesium, and it takes months to replenish the body's supply). Magnesium citrate is one of the chelated forms recommended by the doctors who wrote "Protein Power Lifeplan" (chelated form is easier to assimilate).

The flavor of the "plain" Natural Calm is tart, basically a lemon flavor, and the more you take, the more intense it gets (duh) so I have to tone down the flavor some with a flavored syrup or diet soda. It would probably also be good with tea, if you like lemon-flavored tea. It seems to me, though, that taking it as a liquid seems to somewhat lessen the laxative effect (although certainly not eliminate it - er, no pun intended). Taking the full dose of 3 tsp is definitely something you need to work up to gradually!

It's worth it, though ... to my surprise, I found my overall appetite for food decreased when I started taking the full dosage. I guess a lot of my appetite was actually a craving for magnesium.

One caution - you probably don't want to take magnesium at the same time as you are taking dairy or any high-calcium food or supplement, because calcium can block magnesium absorption.
